Cells infected with the indicated proviruses were double immunogold labeled for Gag and AGO2 and analyzed as described for Table 1. Fold colocalization is defined as the number of WT Gag clusters colocalized with AGO2 for each stage of assembly, normalized to Gag-AGO2 colocalization in the GagΔp2-NC-p1-p6 negative control (indicated by parentheses). Fold colocalization (bold) with SD is graphed in Fig. 6.
